I've quit using alkalines altogether, save for 9V batteries and one

is now using Eneloops. I've had too many leaking incidents in the past
few months... (I think one was Energizer and one was a set of GP)


Same here. First Eneloops, then Sony when my 2 Eneloop chargers got
fried when my basement flooded. The Sony's seem just as good, the
chargers are smarter, and they were cheaper.
I don't even use my D cell Maglites any more. Just AA Maglites.
All the light I need from batteries. Just don't get to carry a combo
flashlight/club any more.
